I hate to ask this (because I'm a diehard mustang person) but I threw a rod in my 2003 mach1 4v 4.6 and came across a ls1 with a trans from a friend for VERY cheap. Would anybody have any ideas on what all I would need for this swap? Any input is takin seriously. Thanks!

I seen something online saying all you need for putting it in was the motor mounts off of cobra block and should bolt right up to stock k member. But was hoping to find someone who has done this or someone who knows about them. I'm going to look into that, thanks for the input bud

I'm going to be honest I just don't have the money to fix it with the same motor, that's going to cost a lot with the 4V modular motor. I'm getting the ls and trans for 600 bucks. Id rather do it the stock way but it be kinda cool to have a unique Mach I can say I built myself.

this I completely understand. Sorry to be an ***. Mod motors are expensive

Or...sell the LS and trans, then purchase a Coyote for your Mustang. Around here the drift crowd are snatching up the LS for at least 2k and that's just the motor...add another $1500 minimum for a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission.

Yeah I don't get people on here I asked got help if you don't have any then don't post anything, I wouldn't have a Mach 1 if I wasn't a mustang guy, not everybody is fortunate enough to fix the stuff back stock, which with these motors I'll be spending atleast 5-7k the ls motor stock has over 100hp more then the 4.6 anyway. Why not go with more power for less money? Thought that's the point of this anyway for me.

If you do it what are you going to do about the shaker are you going to fabricate some mounts or just get rid of it ?

I've thought about doing this to my 98 gt. There's always gonna be Poople hating on doing it but they can kiss your *** when your beating their 3000 dollar set up with your cam only LS mustang . And tired2v on ls1tech has done the swap and done a complete write up on it. Seems like a fairly simple swap honestly.

last I checked they don't give away motors. If you are concerned sponsor his build.

Yes I'm not a big fan of doing it but if he got a good deal on a ls motor an can't afford a rebuild on a 4v (there not cheap) its his choice because its his car but if I was him I would but the old motor away and not sell it In case 1 day he wants to but it back in OP I hope it turns out great for you and yes post some pics from start to finish pls

Damn-... Lots of hatin on this post..
I'll say one thing-
I build cars for a living- I have seen and heard some really strange things about cars and motors being swapped- an lsx in a Mach 1 is a cool idea regardless of being a ford or chevy or dodge or whatever guy... The 32 ford coupe came with a flathead making a whopping 75 horse with a lot of time and effort put into it- the first guy who put a sbc into one was probably talked to much the same way you are right now- forget everybody else and build YOUR car- good luck and have fun!

Thanks for the positive feedback everybody, it's the motor and trans for 600 bucks I can't beat the deal, has 60k miles on it so why not. My block has a whole in it now so it's worthless. I'd rather fix it but dont have the money for the block, rotating assembly and possibly new heads. Lol ford likes those motors with the price of them
